I was flying out of Newark on an early international flight and needed to find a spot for breakfast. There's not many options so we sat here. There was views of the airplanes which was cool and plenty of room as well as a way to order online so it was convenient. It was confusing whether our order was placed or not but service was very quick. I ordered the Black Forest ham and Swiss melt. It was very tasty and I loved the seasoned breakfast potatoes it came with. Overall, convenient and quick spot in Terminal B! read more

Not too many options to get food from once at international terminal B 51-57. This place was decent. Shared a meal so it was good enough for the moment. Vibe was nice and chill and the service was quick. read more

Server is just not happy to be working here and food is very expensive for what it is. Oh well, what can you expect at an airport anyway? The "wagyu" burger was akin to a McDs quarter pounder but $20. The 20oz Belgium beer I ordered was 12 ounces and $14. Unfortunately, Newark airport terminal B International only has 2 restaurant options so pick your poison and enjoy your vacation. read more

Our experience was somewhat positive. Maybe because it was early morning and the restaurant was empty. We ordered BLT sandwiches. Then we had to wait for over 20 minutes for food to arrive but hey at list the view was very nice. You can see the tarmac from the window. Sandwich was around $20, then again airport food is always on the pricey side and it tasted very good. read more

Belgian Beer Cafe - BLT - Beer Bar Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Honestly perfect. I didn't come here expecting the Ritz. Compared to the other options available, this is super solid. Perfect quantities and a great balanced meal. Ordering was super easy, and the server is pleasant read more

This is one of the only two restaurants in the international B terminal. It has a super cute ambience and it was quite packed. There were only two employees working the entire restaurant apart from the cook, and I am so impressed by their hustle and good attitudes. The restaurant definitely needs a good cleaning but they are doing their best and staying very full. I got the chicken Caesar salad, it was great. Emely the server/bartender/bus boy was fantastic, rarely, do you meet somebody with such a hard work ethic and good attitude read more

Belgian Beer Cafe - empty tables and chairs - Beer Bar Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

We've been waiting since July 27, 2025, for a refund of the $500 that was mistakenly deducted from our credit card as a tip. Unfortunately, no one responsible can be reached. read more

The girls working were rude so we left. Didn't even try the food. Drinks are way over priced.

My order was $48.00 for a meh cheese burger without any cheese and a beer. They then changed my tip amount from $10 to $115.76 and they are impossible to contact to attempt to get my money back. Don't go here. read more

I don't have zero star. Or minus that's why they get one. One server, she is inefficient but I don't blame her because she is the only one. We had to clean our table because noise bothers and we were hungry so we had to eat before the long flight . Overly priced food , almost edible, terrible service. Shame on newark airport terminal b. read more

Belgium beer cafe is a place to order mediocre food, eat and await your flight. The window seats gets a decent view of planes taking off and it's close to gate B. ( At the time of this review, it was one of two restaurants for terminal B). The food is not excellent but edible. The service was prompt and polite. One lady sat and staggered ordered a beer, a coffee, and fries. And she sat there for two hours. Do this if you want your waiters to hate you and you have time to kill. The Food: The beef stew was rough bits of beef chuck, and rubbery baby carrots. It tasted like someone made a 5 min stew with precooked beef and beer and dried herbs. It tasted better with salt. The sausage was decent. It was the best part of this meal. Salad was ok, but some pieces were limp. Potatoe salad had bits of tomatoes in it. Despite the food, this pub/restaurant was packed and it took us 15 minutes to hunt down seats. Definitely come for the people watching. Don't expect the best quality food or best priced. (Each dish cost $16-27.) Expect edible airport food and you won't be disappointed. read more

Highway robbery; only two restaurants here in gates B53-58 (you can't access the rest of the terminal) so not much of a choice. I ordered a turkey club that was supposed to come with bacon on multi-grain toast. They literally gave it to me on untoasted white wonder bread. No bacon. And the "Gruyère" was very dry and flavorless. Outside of fast food joints, it's been a while since I've had food that was made with so little love. read more

Incredibly slow service (20 min to get fries in an empty restaurant). Online ordering app is buggy. No actual Belgian beers available despite the name. Avoid at all costs read more

Abysmal food, awful service. Avoid at all costs. This area of Terminal B is terrible, nothing good at all here.

The food at the Belgium Beer Cafe is extremely overpriced and absolutely horrible. $22 for a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich that had no peppers, mushrooms or onions, a meniscal amount of meat and cheese on a hard piece of bread. The French Fries were served cold and soggy. There is nothing to like or good to say about this place. Do yourself and the HMS Host company a favor and don't eat at the Belgium Beer Cafe in Terminal B. The food quality sucks, staff non-existent and high prices. I regret ordering food from here but it was the only eatery in this part of Terminal B. read more

We had some time to kill before our flight & wanted to grab some food & drinks this place seems to be one of the only restaurants available. the place was packed but we got lucky & found a seat towards the back part better than at the bar only because u get to watch the planes. Drinks I started with a Duvel beer good beer nice taste, next I had the La Chouffe also great as well. Food we had the Cheese plate & Beef skewers , beef skewers were very good nicely season beef great truffle mayo dipping sauce. Cheese plate was good as well, delicious beer cheese & good salami good with the bread but a little on the filling side would be better if they used crackers instead of bread. Service was good, prices are decent ... not a lot of options at this terminal so for what it is it wasn't bad. read more

This place is sad. This is exactly why airports have bad reps for food spots. The menu was lacking. Everything sounded just disinteresting enough to make you question what you read that made to pick this spot to eat at in the first place. Settled on their seafood bisque. Inedible. I tried. I got a couple scoops in and I had to tell the waitress to take it away. I told her I know it's not her fault and to let the kitchen know it's horrible. All cheese, no flavor, consistency was comparable to vomit. Blended up no bits of any decipherable fish. Her response: "well they don't cook anything back there. It comes in a bag and they just microwave it." Oh good. Thank god. Ok glad I paid almost $15 for microwaved vomit slop. read more

One poor server. Bartending, food server, bussing, and running the register. Ordering app didn't work. Long wait, bad cafeteria food

My flight to Iceland got delayed 3 hours so I decided to stuff my face at the first restaurant I saw. Here are my thoughts. Pros -Near your gate (if your gate is B50-B57 -Decent selection of Belgian beers on draft: La Chouffe, Duval, Palm, Leffe. -Grilled chicken sandwich and fries were ok. Cons -Our waitress dropped our food off and then disappeared (In her defense, she owned up to it and apologized unprompted). -Mussels were a bit rubbery and many of them were not fresh. -Expect to pay around $15 for a sandwich and $12-$16 for a beer or a glass of wine. This is typical pricing for NY airport food but it still sucks... read more

BEWARE. My tip amount was increased! I almost always leave 20%. I used to be a waitress so I understand how little they are paid in base pay - and how much one can earn with enough customers who order enough food :). Anyway, it took forever to get service and I was served my $30 (low-quality, overpriced) meal with plastic cutlery so I felt like it was more of a mix between fast food and restaurant service and as such, I gave a tip of 15% (which also included my $10 canned beer). Well the waitress apparently CHANGED the tip to reflect 25%!! I usually never check my receipts but I had a funny feeling about this one and I was right! read more

Emely was extremely attentive and perky. Otherwise, it was a 1.5 star restaurant. The food was dry without much of a selection. If you have the time, eat pre-security. read more

Service was veryyyy slow so do not come if you are in a rush. The burger was also overcooked and not very flavorful. I will say the fries were ok but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall it seems like they need a couple more servers/bartenders since it definitely seemed understaffed. read more

This bar is the worst! The prices are ridiculous and the staff is beyond rude. All beers are differently and overly priced although the Stella is bigger than the others. When asked to change the channel on the tv, one employee said he didn't have the expertise (!!) and another said the remote batteries are dead. Wow. Pretty lame. We had a very small meat and cheese plate - not worth it at all. Go to the other bar in the terminal. read more

This review goes to the manager or owner of this place, I really hope you can find a better people to host this business. I can't believe the two bartenders were so unfriendly- this is an airport and of course and everyone is in a RUSH, but the bartender job is to smile and make TIPS. It's a simple and friendly JOB, just be happy and smile- life is not that difficult. Thanks read more

Service was excellent and friendly. The potato wedges were also pretty good (deep fried potatoes and mayo). However, it was here that I ate the shittiest rib-eye steak I've ever had in my life. I don't even know how you fuck up a rib-eye steak. It was entirely tasteless throughout, and the texture didn't convince me that it was a steak. Looked like a steak but tasted and felt like tasteless... veal or something. Decently tender, I guess. I didn't know that a rib-eye steak could taste terrible... I guess I know now. read more

Belgian Beer Cafe - Worst rib-eye steak ever, didn't taste like anything. - Beer Bar Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

You need to skip this place. The worst service I've ever had. You can argue that they're understaffed but the fact of the matter is that the service just simply disappears from the entire restaurant for 15 minutes at a time. The food and beer are decent, but the bread on my sandwich was soggy from sitting on the plate too long before being brought out to me. The Unusual Times down the hall has equally awful reviews (even though I've never been) so I recommend the Hudson News. Get a pop tart and be in and out in five minutes instead of an hour and 45 minutes. read more

Normally I get extremely irritated when my flight is delayed., but a couple hours in this Belgian themed haunt, and I was smiling ear to ear. I was 'startin' with Hogaarten' and ended 'Up the Kriek' Not to forget, the chicken wings were juuust the right level of spicy ness and my server (Name Forgotten ) was extremely personable. Can't wait for my next trip to Dublin; I WILL be back. read more

You'll hear it all. Good: sticky wings (14), chard b altitude (36), Palm draft (13) and they even dropped the water (0) on my bill, thats accounting. It has a general airport view with people watching and planes taking off and landing. Bad: One of those spots you wonder if they want work with exorbitantly expensive prices, is this Union terminal? Can't wait to use my Reserve Lounge access to avoid places like this. read more

If you're looking for a decent meal stay away from this place. The food is terrible -got the seafood bisque which arrived lukewarm & had a strange odor & funky taste. It honestly smelt really bad &,tasted worst...like rotten canned fish. We took two spoonfuls and sent it back. Got the Belgian Fries as a side and they were regular french fries...very okay. Also note, they serve meals only till 9 pm. With very few options around this particular area of Terminal B, it's a pity Belgian Beer Cafe is not doing a better job with their food options. read more

You get what you get with airport food. That's to be expected. Regardless of the name or the menu items, it's still half-assed food from the lowest bidding contract and you're grossly overcharged. It's a fact of life. Accept it and let's move on to what makes this place decent. First and most important: I love Belgian beer. The existence of an airport restaurant with a very respectable Belgian beer selection, on tap and in bottles, is amazing. It sets them apart, and made this the idea place to spend a 4-hour layover before an overnight flight to London. Second, this is the only place in this arm of the terminal where you're going to find any quiet or secluded area. All of the other food sources are in the large open circle near the gates. For a bit of quiet, adequate food, and a glimpse into what Belgium has to offer, this is the absolute best option. read more

All reviews here verifiable... wish I had read them beforehand. Mussels were terrible I hope I dont puke on my flight. Service slow... but very chatty with other servers. You are better off eating at Hudson News or the Duty Free store. read more

Do you like Dinty Moore beef stew? I do! How about 22.00 Dinty Moore beef stew? Not so much? Well that's what you pay and get at the Belgian Beer Cafe in Newark Airport. I ordered the Carbonade - welsh beef stew. They also didn't give me potatoes...which are supposed to go with the stew. I decided against asking for them because I wasn't that hungry but...they hopped me on their own. The service is friendly but relatively absent. The beer list is pretty good with the exception that the one beer I wanted on draft wasn't available...of course. Anyway I'm typically a sucker for Belgian beer and food unless I can create the same meal from a New York deli for 30 dollars less. If I hadn't eaten here I would have given it a three for the beer availability. read more

The owner of Belgian Beer Cafe also owns Unusual Times cafe. Both are tragically understaffed to the extend that they can't open the extra seating area on a mobbed Saturday night. He should be ashamed of himself. I won't fly BA out of EWR for this reason alone. read more

GREAT customer Service, Awesome view for a good Meal before your Flight. Salads are delicious and fresh. read more

Very solid burger. They claim it was Wagyu now that's definitely a stretch but it was certainly angus at a minimum. Came on a decent brioche bun with what I call "freezer fries". The burger was quite good considering EWR may just have the worst food selection of any international airport I have been to. In the B terminal this is definitely the best eatery and prices are fair - $26 plus tip for burger and a glass of screw top cabinet Sauvignon wine. read more

Expect 12-20 dollar top notch Belgian beers given to you at room temperature! It's an airport bar, so don't expect much in the way of service, other than a complimentary fondling (searching) if you're being too rowdy. They're just outside of the TSA/customs checkpoint and the only place that serves alcohol. Get drunk before you fly. It makes the experience better. Especially in steerage class. read more

Oh boy... We were in a rush to get to the airport, so we arrived hungry without snacks. What a mistake! We came here just before they closed and had a mediocre dinner just prior to our flight. Service was slow, and the tables could have been slightly cleaner. Not sure why the table top was a little sticky. The problem is, there aren't a lot of choices depending on where your gate is. read more

My wife and I wanted to grab a quick meal before our flight. We ordered the seafood bisque. Belgian fries and the molten lava cake. The seafood bisque was cold and lumpy...had 2 spoons and couldn't go any further. The Belgian fries were actually pretty good but the were just regular fries, call a spade a spade The molten lava cake was stale and rock solid in the middle Stay away from this place, not worth it at all. read more
